CD Review – by Jessica Papkoff

Seattle composer and guitarist, Randy Hathaway, has just released a monumental 2–CD set of his original compositions for classical guitar entitled “Classical Guitar in America”. There is over an hour and a half of music in this collection that includes guitar solos, duos, trios, a quartet, plus guitar with flute, viola and voice.

This recording is remarkable in that it includes 18 musicians (mostly from Seattle) comprising 13 different classical guitarists and 5 other instrumentalists and vocalists. The performances are all top quality both technically and aurally which is no small feat when attempting to attain sonic consistency across 35 tracks with 13 dif-ferent guitarists and other instruments in all of these different con-figurations.

Randy’s music, as he describes in the liner notes, contains influences of classical, folk, jazz and modern idioms as well as Latin and European flavors. “Classical Guitar in America” is a musical landscape of places and seasons interspersed with shorter pieces, songs and dances. The main anchors are the longer multi-movement pieces beginning with American Sonata for guitar duo, Autumn, Spring Overture, Winter’s Arrival, and Diurnal Summer for guitar solo, Exodus for guitar and viola, Engage for guitar and flute, and Concord for guitar trio. The music spans a wide range of styles and textures, with lots of memorable melodies, rhythms and chordal material.

For me, the major musical works evoke images of the vast and varied landscapes of Washington state, the feelings of the seasons, of change, of Winter’s chill, of far away memories and of contem-plation. The music is often reminiscent of Aaron Copland, in that very American tradition that describes the beautiful expansiveness of our country. The songs and other shorter pieces bring one back to more familiar territory such as the very Spanish influenced Gypsy de

Malaga for guitar quartet and the delightful French café style songs of Le Beau Tango and Song of the Ballerina.

The performances on these CDs are all excellent and the wide variety of ensembles makes for a fun and memorable listen-ing adventure. My personal favorites are Engage and Exodus, really beautiful and thoughtful music. I highly recommend this CD set!

In addition to the CD release, Randy has also self-published the music scores for all of the pieces on this recording! I think this must be a first; a 2–CD classical guitar release of all original com-positions plus all of the music published and available to purchase. If you’re looking to learn and program new music, these compositions represent a significant new addition to the modern classical guitar repertoire for both solo guitar and ensemble.

For more info, audio samples, CDs, and scores, visit Randy’s website at: www.RandyHathaway.com
